How to start new JavaFX (Application) thread?

I want to create a program in Java with a main window, that can open more subprograms in other windows.

I created a simple JavaFX program for the main window, and it works as expected, like so:

public class MainThread extends Application {
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {

        // code goes here...

    }
}

... and I created other Java classes the same way.

I tried to run them simply with new SubProgramThread();- as I would create a new instance of any object- but that hasn't worked for me- it doesn't run the start() method in the subprogram classes.

Is that the right way to create an Application instance?

Thanks.

I do this all the time. I have a menu of items. When a user clicks the item button I create the new window by calling start() on the FX class:

new TyAltSvr().start(new Stage());

Some people don't like calling start() but it hasn't caused me any problems.
